Dwelling in the highland areas of Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam,
Thailand, Burma (Myanmar), and southwest China are hundreds of
ethnic groups known as 'tribes' in popular literature. Some groups
number barely more than one hundred, others millions. Together
their population adds up to 80 million, more than any of the
countries (bar China) they inhabit, yet in each they are designated
and treated as "minorities." They have been forced to dwell in the
highlands while their enemies have occupied the more fertile
lowlands. This, coupled with the fact that they are so little known
abroad and even at home, has caused their way of life and cultural
distinctions to come in jeopardy. This book offers hundreds of
cross-referenced dictionary entries on about 200 groups, the six
countries they live in, some of their leaders, and their political,
economic, social, cultural and religious aspects. The chronology
covers important events. The introduction discusses both the
diversities and similarities of the groups' ethnicities, languages,
religious practices, and customs. The bibliography supplements the
dictionary entries.
